Init: Id "x" Respawining Too Fast


just got done installing redhat 9.0 and im getting this error when X tries to start up
INIT: ID "X" RESPAWINING TOO FAST: DISABLED FOR 5 MINUTES

1 funny thing though, during the install i wasnt asked to create a user. i was only asked to give a password for root. this doesnt seem right.

what do i need to do? here is my XF86config

# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
#

first off you can read this:
http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/09.24.shtml
and second there was an option to make a user for you system other than root, in the screen where you had to make root, just UNDER that there was an empty white screen with 3 buttons next to it (i think) but i remember the buttons ADD and EDIT so when you click add you create a user and a password for the user...
and just to note there maybe only two buttons, but just scanning the ol memory i think there was 3 but anyways i know the add and edit buttons are there.

i swear it, i went back 3 different times looking for what you had said and its just not there. i should check to see if anaconda is the same version for red hat 9 as it is for red hat 8 but i bet its not. i bet i add the user the first time i boot up into X in red hat 9.0.

thanks,
